Jeff Ament SLAYS! Bass Teacher REACTS to Pearl Jam - "RATS"

FULL-ALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More 👉   / lowenduniversity   --------------------------------------------------- ➡️ “Rats” is yet another example of why I’m revisiting bands I didn’t fully appreciate growing up. Pearl Jam’s "Vs." was released in 1993, but this deep cut feels fresh and endlessly intriguing due to Jeff Ament’s imaginative bass lines. From the pentatonic grooves in the intro to the clever chord inversions in the chorus, this track shows how much thought went into their arrangements. In this breakdown, I dig into the juicy verse bass lines, the way he simplifies his grooves during the guitar solo, the impact of several layering and mixing choices on the song, and how his root-note choices create unexpected harmonic shifts throughout the song. --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 0:53 Reaction / Analysis 15:01 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- 📺 MORE REACTIONS: ▶️ ALICE IN CHAINS:    • Bass Teacher REACTS | Alice In Chains "WOU...   ▶️ RADIOHEAD:    • Bass Teacher REACTS to RADIOHEAD - "Jigsaw...   ▶️ RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS:    • Bass Teacher REACTS | Red Hot Chili Pepper...   --------------------------------------------------- Mark Michell is an internationally-touring and recording bass player known for his work with Scale the Summit, Tony MacAlpine, Tetrafusion, Watermox, and more.
